POONCH, Aug 24: MLA Mendhar, Javed A Rana, reiterated his demand of Hill Development Council for Pir Panjal region besides terming basic functioning of Education Department as unsatisfactory and called for implementation of decision of separate engineering wing of education department at the earliest.
He said this while addressing a meeting of public from several villages of Mendhar in main town. The people who attended this meeting hailed the efforts of MLA for getting the construction of BG to Galuta road completed which however was getting delayed due to some judicial and technical reasons. Rana said that this road was started by him in 2005-06 under CDF and later was converged with BADP, then PWD and now PMGSY.
While putting forth his demand for Hill Development Council in Pir Panjal region, Rana said that he is raising this demand for years now but not getting needed political support. “One of the major hardship in our development process is funding and the same hardship can be overcome if Hill Development Council status is given to our area ” he said asking Central Government to look in to this decades old demand of people.
Rana also asked State Education Ministry to implement it’s decision of separate engineering wing of Education Department to improve the infrastructure system in Government institutions. He termed basic functioning of Education Department officers in Poonch as unsatisfactory and said that officers are merely confined in their offices and no concern is shown towards field inspections to check punctuality. “Officers of education department should understand that merely transfers and deployments are not their only responsibility but they also have to monitor working of field staff but this approach is almost missing here”, Rana said.
He also batted for a well planned procedure to appoint staff in private education institutions and raised concern that some lesser educated people are serving as teachers in private schools which is not a good sign towards quality education system.
